Recently I blew up my aging desktop computer (with real smoke etc) and with it, by very aging copy of chessbase. As luck would have it, O was able to score a cheapish copy of Chessbase 17 , which is apparently the last version you could get on physical media.
One feature I like is the provision of live event databases. This may help me find more interesting games for this blog, as previously I had the choice between downloading pgn files (usually from TWIC) or pretending that Keres v Petrosian was still cutting edge opening theory.
As an example, here is a game from the current World Seniors Teams Championship. It caught my eye because the winner was a contemporary of formerly active Canberra player Andrey Bliznyuk, while his opponent was also a pretty useful player, having toweled me up in the 2017 Gibraltar Masters.
